Transport encryption between client and server has been planned for an
upcoming release. However, development appears to have stalled so I
wouldn't expect anything soon.

As there is currently no native encryption, you have a few other options
for this:

* use stunnel on both client and server
* configure the clients to connect using HTTPS, and install a CGI script to
handle the connections
* use ssh tunnels

Some of these methods can also incorporate authentication, to improve
security even further.

More on these techniques can be found here:

Cheers

I am in the process of migrating xymon to Azure client.  My group need to
make sure application end points are encrypted meaning that Xymon will need
to use secure connection.  What is the best way of accomplishing this task
that you can recommend?
